Item type:Publication, Feminist Trajectories from Peru to Colombia: Taking Violence Experienced by Women into Account in Truth Commissions(Routledge, 2023-01-01)International human rights law has long ignored women’s realities, reproducing an epistemological blind spot that has impacted transitional justice mechanisms such as truth commissions. In the early 2000s, this blind spot was challenged by Peru’s Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (CVR; Truth and Reconciliation Commission). The lessons learned in Peru about including gender in transitional justice processes have nourished the application of transitional justice in Colombia. This article examines the inclusion of a gender perspective in Peru’s CVR and highlights the advances and lessons that inform Colombia’s Comisión para el Esclarecimiento de la Verdad, la Convivencia y la No Repetición (CEV; Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence, and Non-Repetition). Furthermore, it underscores the innovative contributions of Latin American decolonial and communitarian feminisms to reframing the inclusion of gender in the context of Colombia’s CEV. We argue that these feminisms allow the recognition that “woman” is a plural subject intersected by race and class; challenge liberal feminist conceptions of gender; propose a reconceptualization of time; provide a historical explanation of the reasons behind violence against women; and give an important centrality to nature, territory, and the sacred in the explanation of violence and in peacebuilding. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, “Not All Old Age Is the Same”: Human Rights of Older Women and the Importance of the Gender Perspective(Universidad Externado de Colombia, 2023-05-01)The progressive incorporation of the gender approach to International Human Rights Law has allowed the recognition of the human rights of women and the identification of particular effects, such as sexual violence or femicide. Now, an intersectional approach is important to identify the diversity among women and recognize the situations that they go through due to certain conditions, such as, for example, age. The article focuses on the analysis and recognition of the human rights of older women, highlighting the continuity of gender violence and discrimination that begins in childhood and determines the reality of women when they reach old age, emphasizing in cases of sexual violence, forced motherhood, the role of care assumed by older women as well as their contribution to the search for justice in cases of forced disappearance.
